I use the gmail interface mostly but keep a backup using offlineimap. In principle it's possible to use mutt+offlineimap but with my slow internet connection it takes quite a while to sync; also offlineimap crashes quite often when trying to download attachments over 5 MB. Earlier I used fdm but that downloaded quite a few mails more than once. -- Abhishek
